Hey, is the water in mid- to late-May still too cold for swimming? I would imagine it is, for the non-Polar Bear, but I%26#39;m not sure.
Ocean in May
It would be too cold for me. Even if the air temperature is warm enough for a bathing suit, the ocean won%26#39;t be. I don%26#39;t even swim there in August. But I%26#39;m a transplanted southerner. Maybe a heated pool?

Yep -- too cold, unless you%26#39;re a member of the Polar Bear Club.
Mid to late May is pretty early for swimming. I would guess the water temperature by then would be in the high 50s or low 60s, but it may be a bit warmer. I kayak in the harbor then, but standing up to your knees in cold water is different from getting immersed in it.
I agree...too cold for swimming. But not too cold for walking out on the Cape Cod Bay mud flats at low tide. Great way to experience the bay and get your feet wet with freezing!
